Haemocytometers
A haemocytometer is a specialized counting chamber used for the microscopic estimation of the number of cells in a given volume of fluid. It is a glass slide with a precisely etched grid or pattern on its surface. This grid is divided into a known area and depth, forming a chamber of a defined volume.
To use a haemocytometer, a small, known volume of a cell suspension is carefully pipetted onto the
By multiplying the cell count within a defined area by the reciprocal of the chamber's volume, the
